Today, many people are probably wondering just what will happen to the world's economy after yesterday's precipitous fall.  Father, Your timing is again incredible.
The Jews were being questioned about the rebuilding of the Temple, yet You kept the work from being stopped.  Since You had put King Darius in power for such a time as that, the decree You caused him to issue not only kept the work going, but also paid the entire remaining cost of the project!
So what does all this have to do with today?  My sidebar says:  "Nowadays ... life seems to have gone out of control .... Christians may wonder if God has lost control of His world.  He has not! .... God is sovereign over all men and nations .... No matter how things look, we can have faith that God will never abandon His world.  He is always sovereign in the universe."
My commentary quoted Edward Dennett:  "Faith has to do with unseen things .... If God was for the, as He was, the resources available to faith were as unbounded as ever.  This truth cannot be too deeply impressed on our minds, that Christ remains the same for His people in a day of difficulty as in a season of prosperity.  To be in the power of this raises us, as nothing else can, above our circumstances, and gives us courage to press on, whatever the perils of the path."
Father, please place Your hand on our world.  Guide our leaders.  Show the presidential candidates in a very mighty way Who is still in control.  Steady our course.  Grant us peace within as turmoil surrounds us.  Take full control of our world, Father.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
